There aren't any viruses for the mac! Forget idevices.

Think about it. If you download music, and the music has a virus, and the virus goes to your playlist, it can't do anything. All the apps are sandboxed. And besides media and the appstore (which has a heavy duty review board), where else would you get viruses from?

Good thing I'm non-jailbroken (for now)
